General description
The STR profile of this cell line matches that of its parental cell line ATCC® Catalog No. CCL-247. HCT-116 cancer cells are a human colorectal carcinoma cell line isolated from the colon of an adult male. The cells possess a near diploid karyotype and express carcinoembryonic antigen.
Cell Line Description
These cells are a human colorectal carcinoma cell line isolated from the colon of an adult male. The cells possess a near diploid karyotype and express carcinoembryonic antigen.
Application
This product is a human HCT-116 carcinoma cell line in which a landing pad cassette has been integrated into the AAVS1 safe harbor locus using CompoZr® Zinc Finger Nuclease technology. The mKATE2 fluorescence gene was integrated following the EF1a promoter and flanked by unique Cre-lox sites. The design of this landing pad cassette allows for easy, fast, and affordable genetic modification using Cre recombinase. mKATE2 can easily be exchanged for a payload of the user′s choice using Cre recombinase and a targeting vector with appropriate lox sites. Cells can then be sorted via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for loss of mKATE2 expression as a surrogate for successful integration of the targeting vector. Approximately 7-10 days are required for loss of the mKATE2 signal in successfully targeted cells. See technical bulletin for detailed protocols.
Features and Benefits
These cells contain the mKATE2 fluorescence gene flanked by unique Cre-lox sites inserted in the AAVS1 safe harbor gene. These HCT-116 cells are adherent with a doubling time of approximately 22 hours.
Quality
Tested for Mycoplasma, bacterial and fungal content, post-freeze viability, short terminal repeat (STR) analysis for cell line identification.
Culture Medium
McCoy′s 5A medium modified to contain 1.5mM L-glutamine and 2200mg/L sodium bicarbonate. Add 10% FBS.
